Have you ever wanted to go elsewhere? Well, Bo Bimble did in Sue Copsey’s story When Bo Bimble Went Elsewhere.

This story is about a bird called Bo who wants answers to her never ending questions. This quest takes her on a journey around New Zealand. On the way, Bo meets Bernie (a young Scottish boy with an interest in birds). Together they discover the answers to Bo’s questions and realise that things aren’t always as bad as they seem.

I enjoyed how the story was based in New Zealand but didn’t rely on clichés like some other New Zealand books and shows.  Read more

The Ghosts of Moonlight Creek
Sue Copsey
Treehouse Books
2016

 

The Ghosts of Moonlight Creek, by Sue Copsey, is the third book in the Spooky Adventures series. I have not read the two other books in the series, The Ghosts of Young Nick’s Head and The Ghosts of Tarawera, and I suggest you read these books first so you get an understanding of what they all are about and get to know the characters and their personalities. This book is set in 2016 and follows Joe and his adventures with his friends around Moonlight Creek.

When Joe, Beckie (Joe’s sister), Eddie and Anastasia are asked to come to a movie set near Queenstown by Anastasia’s father, famous movie director Roberto Johnson, they think that it’s for a summer holiday on a movie set: but it’s not.  Read more
